And the way the Doc chokes up and splutters tryin' to explain things was somethin' lovely. He was gettin' himself as twisted as a pretzel, when Old Hickory breaks in. "That's all right, Doc," says he. "Innocent little relaxation. I understand perfectly. Now, what's the ante?" Well, after that the conversation wasn't so excitin'; nothing but, "I'll take three cards," or "Raise you two more blues."
But the stranger made no move toward his guns, and when he answered he might have been talking about the weather, so casual was his tone. "I reckon you think you're a plum man," he said quietly.

I put both hands to my ears, to exclude the reverberations of it from the walls. "Don't be skeered, Squire; don't be skeered. We are alone now: there is no mare to lose. Ain't it pretty?
And by the time we reached Jonesville and he related that experience to the awe-struck neighbors it wuz a thrillin' and excitin' seen he depictered, and that tiny fishlet had growed, in the fertile sile of his warm imagination, to such a length, that I told him in confidence out to one side, that if I ever hearn him go on so agin about it, and if that fish kep' a growin' to that alarmin' extent, I should have to tell its exact length; it wuz jest as long as my middle finger, for I measured it on the boat, foreseein' trouble with him in this direction.
But Philander called a meetin' of the Creation Searchers to make arrangements to go. And I spoze the speech he made at the meetin' wuz a powerful effort.
